Oh stop with this. Chanukah isn't a national holiday and if one knows they are celebrating that they can always say "Happy Chanukah", can't they? No need to blur the lines between Christmas and Chanukah by using a generic term like "Happy Holidays" for both of them. It's just the progressive and atheist's way of diluting our national holiday of Christmas. If they had their way they'd obliterate all Christian holidays.

No, silly. You just don't get the point, do you or choose not to most likely.

Christmas is a religious holiday. It's not a national holiday. We do not have a national religion. I know that makes bigots want to jump up and down like Rumpelstiltskin because they are mad they don't get to shove their religion down everyone else's throat but that's the way this country was established. No religious holiday is a national holiday. Get over it.

Oh stop with your self-righteous whining. You asked "Just what other holidays are there in December other than Christmas". Don't ask the damn question if you don't want a factual answer.

And BTW, by using a generic term like "Happy Holidays", retailers increase their customer base. Or would you suggest they're wrong in doing so?

Wonderful post.

the only fact you pointed out is your own willful ignorance for being so blinded by what YOU want that you can't even be bothered to acknowledge there are other people in this country with different belief systems, celebrating other occasions besides the one you observe.

And yes, that's a bigoted outlook. A bigot is "a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions."
